Price history & projections · where it has been, where the models see it going
The valuation journey · where the price sits against fair value and the Street
Green marks levels above today's price, red below; the shaded band is the gap between the price and our fair value.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as roughly fairly valued here, while the Street is more bullish — a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
| Revenue growth | 15.30% |
| Profit margin | 14.49% |

The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English
This company clears both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. Here is how it did on each:
Used by most halal investing apps ✓ PASSES
The one Titan applies ✓ PASSES
What these two standards are, and how they differ →
- Business activity Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
- Debt load Interest-bearing debt is just 30.2% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
- Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 1.2% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
- Receivables Money owed to the company is 16.6% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
- Revenue purity Only 0.0% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources — under the 5% line. Pass
Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.
The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean
Power kit maker priced past its worth
When a substation upgrade or factory floor needs reliable switches and connectors, Hubbell keeps the current moving across both utility and electrical markets. Revenue rising 11 percent, a 15 percent profit margin and 26 percent ROE show a business that earns its keep with moderate competitive protection.
Yet the shares trade above our fair value with only a 3 percent margin of safety. A forward multiple of 21.8 times leaves little room for the steady but not exceptional growth on offer, so we pass.
The clearest risk is that thin cushion combined with exposure to industrial spending cycles that can flatten quickly. Analyst targets sit higher, yet our numbers still flag the stock as overvalued. Analysis, not advice.
| Forward P/E | 22.5x priced for continued growth |
| Trailing P/E | 30.4x a premium valuation |
| Revenue growth | 15.3% steady growth |
| Profit margin | 14.5% thin but positive margins |
| Return on equity | 24.4% an exceptional return on shareholder capital |
| Debt to equity | 1.42 a meaningful debt load worth watching |
| Current ratio | 1.61 healthy short-term liquidity |
| Beta | 0.90 steadier than the market |
| Market cap | $27.1B |
| Employees | 18,200 |
The risks · The main risks here are ordinary market swings and the chance our fair-value read proves too optimistic.
